googlemock

What will be the best way to write (google) test cases using a google mock object and expect the EXPECT_CALL() definitions being called from another thread controlled by the class in test? Simply calling sleep() or alike after triggering the call sequences doesn't feel appropriate since it may slow down testing unnecessary and may not really hit the timing conditions. But finishing the test case somehow has to wait until the mock methods have been called. Ideas anyone? Here's some code to illustrate the situation: Bar.hpp (the class under test) class Bar { public: Bar(IFooInterface*

I am a fairly new software developer currently working adding unit tests to an existing C++ project that started years ago. Due to a non-technical reason, I'm not allowed to modify any existing code. The base class of all my modules has a bunch of methods for Setting/Getting data and communicating with other modules. Since I just want to unit testing each individual module, I want to be able to use canned values for all my inter-module communication methods. I.e. for a method Ping() which checks if another module is active, I want to have it return true or false based on what kind of test I'm

I use GoogleMock/GoogleTest for testing, and I'm seeing some strange behavior when a matcher has a shared_ptr to a mock as a parameter, and EXPECT is called on the same shared_ptr. The offending piece of code: #include <gmock/gmock.h> #include <gtest/gtest.h> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/make_shared.hpp> using namespace boost; using namespace testing; struct MyParameter { virtual ~MyParameter() {} virtual void myMethod() = 0; }; struct MyParameterMock : public MyParameter { MOCK_METHOD0(myMethod, void()); }; struct MyClass { virtual ~MyClass() {} virtual void myMethod(shared

I am stuck in a problem and can't seem to find the solution. I am using VS2005 SP1 for compiling the code. I have a global function: A* foo(); I have a mock class class MockA : public A { public: MOCK_METHOD0 (bar, bool()); ... }; In the sources, it is accessed like this: foo()->bar() . I cannot find a way to mock this behavior. And I cannot change the sources, so the solution in google mock cook book is out of question. Any help or pointers in the right direction will be highly appreciated. :) πάντα ῥεῖ No it's not possible, without changing the sources, or bringing your own version of foo()

I have a factory that returns a smart pointer. Regardless of what smart pointer I use, I can't get Google Mock to mock the factory method. The mock object is the implementation of a pure abstract interface where all methods are virtual. I have a prototype: MOCK_METHOD0(Create, std::unique_ptr<IMyObjectThing>()); And I get: "...gmock/gmock-spec-builders.h(1314): error C2248: 'std::unique_ptr<_Ty>::unique_ptr' : cannot access private member declared in class 'std::unique_ptr<_Ty>'" The type pointed to in the smart pointer is defined. And I get it's trying to access one of the constructors
